Initial Leadership Status
Leaders at these statuses have made a more serious effort at building a Melaleuca business. Those who have reached
these leadership statuses have not only invested enough time to develop several customers, but they have also helped
some of those customers start a business and become Marketing Executives. Those Marketing Executives have, in turn,
referred additional customers who purchase Melaleuca products each month. Commissions are paid based on the
development of customers and the development of leaders who help others reach their goals.

Advanced Leadership Status
Those Marketing Executives who reach Senior or Executive Director status have shown substantial interest and
dedication in building a Melaleuca business. While they may not work their business full-time, it is essential that
they invest some time each month nurturing, training, and helping those in their marketing organization. Melaleuca
advocates that Marketing Executives keep their full-time job and work their Melaleuca business in their spare time.
However, some Executive Directors at the higher income levels do work their business close to full-time. Melaleuca
strongly advocates that Marketing Executives do not quit their full-time job until their Melaleuca income far surpasses
the income they receive from their full-time employer. Rather, they should add their Melaleuca income to their regular
income, thereby making a substantial difference in their family finances.
